Hematopoietic stem cells found in red bone marrow produce all blood cells in the body.

There are two types of bone marrow, red and yellow. Blood is produced in the cells of red marrow. Much of the red marrow inside arm and leg bones is gradually replaced by yellow marrow as a person matures to adulthood. Yellow marrow is composed primarily of specialized fat cells, but in an emergency yellow marrow is replaced by blood-forming red marrow when the body needs more blood.
